It's a BBM block, the walls are still plenty thick. There's enough meat left for a couple of addition overbores if needed. Thankfully that's not an issue in this problem. I get back home soon and I have a thermostat and a bottle of Water Wetter waiting at home for me to install when I get there. I'll see what if any improvement that makes and go from there.
